A member asked:
I started having the cartilage of my ear pierced tomorrow and wondering whether it hurts loads?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I have been told : That it is painful. Common infections related to piercings include staphylococcus aureus, group a streptococcus & pseudomonas. Ear piercings have led to chondritis with collapse of the external ear. Just thought you should know about some of the risks associated with the procedure you have planned.
